 Litter Bugs Do Exist!
Rain or shine, we can count on "litter bugs" visiting our lake and leaving their trash behind.  Special thanks to all of the lake residents who routinely pick up litter in an effort to keep our lake beautiful and clean!

  Protect Our Loons

Our juvenile  loons and adults have left Pleasant Lake for  new adventures as winter approaches.  Make sure you read Andy Partridge's  article in the August Ponderings, "A Loon-y Summer".  Andy, tells the story of his experiences as our resident loon protector this past summer. We await the return of our loons in spring.  Meanwhile, we can share our photos.  Email your photos of our loons to the PLA webmaster to be posted for all to enjoy!
